Summary
JD Vance faced backlash for claiming judges cannot limit executive power after a federal court blocked Elon Musk’s DOGE from accessing Treasury payment systems.
Critics, including Rep. Daniel Goldman and DNC Vice Chair David Hogg, reminded Vance of the constitutional separation of powers.
Musk called for the judge’s impeachment, labeling him “corrupt.”
Legal experts warned Vance’s stance suggests the administration may ignore unfavorable court rulings, raising concerns about respect for judicial oversight and the rule of law.
Other than courts?
The president doesn’t get to determine what’s an official act and what isn’t, any more than Michael Scott saying, “I declare bankruptcy!” makes it so.
The corrupt as hell supreme court is who would make the determination.
